This was great! There was a nice balance between the lemon juice and maple syrup (I was afraid the juice would overpower the syrup). The lemon I used yielded slightly less than 1/4 cup of juice and I used 1 teaspoon of Dijon and 2 garlic cloves, average size. Next time I make this I'll only use 1 clove of garlic...two was too much for me.
